Make rings of fire and ice generate cursed

Could be amusing and wearing these rings all the time is a definite no-no so there's a very good reason to remove curse them.

Re: Make rings of fire and ice generate cursed

why?

generally the only time cursed jewellery matters in my games is early D, like when as a newer player i would wear-id jewellery earlier and more often. your chances of finding a ring that will save you (like +ac, +stealth, a couple of others) vs one that will mess you up are not great so generally you just don't put on rings until a few levels in when you have some ?rc, at which point you equip stuff until you're very cursed and then read ?rc. by the time you actually start seeing some elemental damage you almost always have a stack of ?rc handy. so this would maybe help get some noobs killed by ice beasts, and otherwise just act as a small ?rc tax.
